Black-footed Cats are the Deadliest Hunters

Black-footed Cats are the smallest cats in Africa – they only weigh about four pounds! They have interesting markings. Their fur can be from a yellow-brown to a cinnamon color, and they have black spots on their bodies that turn into rings around their legs and tail. They also have fur on their feet to protect them from the hot ground they experience in their habitats.
